Poisonous Peasant 'Concubine'

Chapter 233 High School

Yan Shengrui left with a proud face. After the little buns woke up and found out, they had a hard time with Ling Jingxuan for a few days, complaining that he didn't wake them up when their father left, although they would still serve their father obediently and carefully every day. He took good care of him, but he just didn't want to talk to him. Ling Jingxuan was helpless and powerless, so he finally let them go. As for Ling Chenglong and his wife, it would be a lie to say that they don't complain at all, but seeing their son doesn't seem to be a problem. It was a serious problem, and they didn't dare to say anything, for fear of arousing his thoughts and making him sad.

The family was silent for several days because of this matter, and it wasn't until Ling Jinghan was going to the county seat to take part in the three-day township examination that the family became active again. The Ling Wang family inevitably cried and earnestly told him that Ling Jingxuan obviously couldn't accompany him this time. However, Yuan Shaoqi volunteered to go with them. Seeing that his younger brother didn't refuse, Ling Jingxuan, who could see clearly, didn't stop him. He just told him and Song Shuisheng to pay attention to Ling Jinghan's daily diet, and asked Zhao Shan to go to his studio to get two bags. He brought the water to Ling Jinghan, and did nothing else. He believed that his younger brother, with his talent, would definitely pass the exam.

Three days and three exams were a great test of the candidates' knowledge, physical fitness and mental endurance. During the three days when Ling Jinghan went to the exam, everyone in the family couldn't eat, for fear that he would run out of energy or something, after all His health was really bad before, until he came back three days later with a happy face, the family was relieved.

The results of the exam will be announced after seven days, which is almost the end of the month. During this period, Ling Jingxuan asked people to pay close attention to the changes in the ground and carefully recorded the daily rise and fall of the sea water. At the same time, he also began to slowly teach his father, Lao Zhou How did the father and son and Zheng Da control the temperature and raise the seedlings? As for the fungus business, they were all handed over to Mr. and Mrs. Zhao Han, and Mr. and Mrs. Song cooperated with each other in other matters at home. Without Yan Shengrui and Ling Jingpeng, it would have no impact at all. It's absolutely impossible, but it's barely manageable.

"I have won the prize, Mrs. Master, Master Xuan, the second master has won the first prize!"

Seven days later, Lao Song, who was going to the county town to check the results, rushed into the yard excitedly, and he didn't even bother to stop the carriage. Ling Wang and others who were waiting in the main room stood up with a bang, and waited until Lao Song came in. , Ling Chenglong stepped forward excitedly and grabbed his arms: "What are you talking about? My son won the first prize?"

Not only a scholar, but also a gifted student, that is paid by a salary.

"Yes, master, the second master won the first prize. The county master, Mr. Hu, said it himself. He also said that the second master's literary talent is very good, even if he goes to the exam, it will be no problem."

Lao Song is also full of excitement. For their slaves, the master's family is prosperous, and they walk with the wind. What's more, he has already regarded himself as a member of this family, although he is a bit high.

"Okay, okay, my son has won, my son is a scholar, Jin Hua, did you hear that? Our son has been admitted as a scholar, and he passed the exam with No. 1 grade."

After being confirmed again, Ling Chenglong turned back excitedly and held his wife's hand tightly. The hand full of old seedlings couldn't help but tremble lightly. The elders actually had tears in their eyes. His son has finally grown up. No one dares to underestimate them anymore, they have made it through...

"Well, I heard, our son is a scholar..."

Ling Wang couldn't help crying before she finished speaking. These were tears of joy, and they were also the tears of years of suppressed tears that broke the embankment. Now their family's life is getting better and better. Even if they die, they can rest in peace.

The old couple of the Wang family who also arrived early couldn't help but burst into tears, not to mention Wang Jinyu, who choked up frequently and wiped away tears, knowing that they needed such a vent, Ling Jingxuan did not admonish them this time, the whole family They were all filled with tears and excitement. For them, scholars, farmers, businessmen, no matter how rich they are, there is no scholar who is more happy. Only when their family members embark on official careers can they be truly proud.

"Why didn't you see Jinghan?" Ling Jingxuan suddenly asked after seeing that it was almost done.

"Look at my temper, how can I forget the most important thing."

Hearing this, Lao Song couldn't help but slapped himself lightly twice, and hurried forward and said: "The county master wants to entertain the students who have been admitted to the scholar this time in the government office. The second master is a gifted student, so naturally he will also attend. Besides In addition, Ling Chenggui from Lizheng's family was also admitted as a scholar. They made an appointment to come back together in two days. Shui Sheng and Mr. Yuan accompanied him. The second master was afraid that the master and wife would be worried, so he sent me back first to announce the good news to you."

"Since that's the case, there's no need to worry. The county magistrate will be transferred in February. You go to the county seat to find the second master, and ask him to find a way to have a private chat with Mr. Hu, and find out where the new magistrate is transferred from. How is the character?"

Ling Jingxuan nodded, and said in a deep voice, he doesn't want to meet a top-ranking county magistrate, even though the emperor's decree and plaque are there, even if the new county magistrate is top-notch, he doesn't dare to do anything to him, after all, he does The emperor is watching all the things, but some top grades have no brains. It is better to find out early than to deal with it in a hurry.

"Yes"

Old Song retired respectfully after hearing the words, and the servants of the family came up to congratulate them in turn. Ling Chenglong and his wife were so happy that they shouted "rewards". The news spread throughout the Lingjia Village. Many people who did not come and go, including many local tyrants and squires in Datong Town, came to the door, and some of them brought rich gifts. Shi Lan and Ling Yun are here, and he is not worried about their losses. However, before hiding in his room, he repeatedly explained that no matter who's gift, regardless of its severity, he will not accept it. Ling Chenglong and his wife are not greedy people either. , and Ling Jingxuan also said that this was to accumulate official reputation for Jinghan, they didn't dare to have any ideas, so those who wanted to take this opportunity to climb up to them undoubtedly all came back disappointed.

"Really? Jinghan has been awarded the prize?" The old scholar's family heard that Ling Jinghan had been given the prize. Due to the repeated torment of the illness, Ling Qiyun, who was already completely out of shape, opened his eyes suddenly, his face was full of excitement, His grandson really passed the entrance examination?

"Well, Lord, Uncle Cheng Gui of the Second Uncle's family has also passed the examination as a scholar, and now the whole village knows about it."

Ling Jinghong, who was waiting on the side, said indifferently, if you look carefully, there is also joy hidden in the depths of his eyes, but he will not express it. The last time his parents went to Yuehua Villa to make trouble completely made him He was disappointed with this family, and he was going to leave when the old man was sent away.

"Really? The whole village knows about it..."

It was said that the old man was eunuched in an instant. Everyone knew about it, but they didn't want to come and tell him. It seems that they were completely heartbroken and would not recognize them anymore. Now this family is no longer like home. He If you close your eyes again, the days of the boss and the third child will never be announced at all, right?

Thinking of this, the old man suddenly made a decision, opened his eyes and said to Ling Jinghong: "When Jinghan comes back tomorrow, you go to Yuehua Villa to find the second child, tell him that I can't do it, and want to see them for the last time, let the second child come back Kouzi and Jinghan came to see me."

He knows that his body has been emptied long ago, and he may not wake up at any time. For the sake of future generations, he has to sell his old face once. This is one of the reasons why he didn't let Ling Jingxuan come. In his opinion , The knot between him and the second child's family is on Ling Jingxuan, and Ling Jingxuan has a grudge because he kicked him out of the house in disregard of his ancestors and grandchildren. It is basically impossible to persuade him.

"Grandpa, you..."

Ling Jinghong has been with him since he was a child, how could he not guess what he was thinking?Originally, he wanted to persuade him, but he swallowed the words again, who made him his only weakness in this family, I just hope that the Lord will not be self-defeating.

On the other side of the upper room, the old woman who was also sick in bed immediately vomited blood when she heard that Ling Jinghan had passed the scholar examination, and then became demented. How much resentment she felt towards them in her heart.

It has been a long time since there have been any scholars in the nearby villages. This time, there are two scholars in Lingjia Village, one of whom is No.1. This coke spoiled the villagers of Lingjia Village. Ling Jinghan and Ling Chenggui came back the next day. At that time, Li Zheng and the old patriarch personally led the villagers to meet them at the entrance of the village. Ling Jinghan, who didn't want to meet them face to face, had to get off the carriage.

"Jinghan, Chenggui, congratulations, you really gave us the face of the village head of the Ling family."

The moment he saw them, the old patriarch who was on a walking stick ran up to them, his chrysanthemum folds all over his face, and he smiled happily, as if the two were his grandsons. Ling Chenggui was more shy and slightly With a blushing face, he politely called out to the old patriarch, while Ling Jinghan put his hands behind his back, slightly curled his lips and nodded, and it was over.

"It's a big event for our village that you both get admitted as a scholar at the same time. Let's go back and discuss how to do this running water mat. Lingjia Village hasn't seen such a scene in a long time. This time, no matter what, the running water mat will take three to five days to let the neighbors People from several villages came to see our two young talents."

As if he didn't see Ling Jinghan's impatience, the old patriarch enthusiastically pulled them along, followed by Li Zheng and the villagers who also nodded in agreement. Treating guests to a banquet made everyone happy. When Ling Jinghan was admitted to Tongsheng last year, he was supposed to treat guests. However, Ling Jingxuan said that Jinghan still had to prepare for the scholar exam. Thinking that the time for the provincial examination was really running out, they couldn't say it What, this time it's not just Ling Jinghan, even Ling Chenggui who passed the Tongsheng examination the year before last was admitted as a scholar, so they have no excuse to shirk, right?Can--

"Sorry, I have to discuss with my parents and elder brother about the water mat. I appreciate everyone's kindness. I haven't been home since yesterday. My parents must be worried. Forgive me for leaving first."

Ignoring their excitement, Ling Jinghan pulled out the hand that was grabbed by the old patriarch, and after a simple sentence, he climbed into the carriage with Yuan Shaoqi and Song Shuisheng. The old Song who was in charge of driving was also a shrewd person. The carriage quickly drove towards the road built by their house, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.

The face of the old patriarch who was left behind was not to mention ugly, and Li Zheng and the villagers couldn't express the bitterness in their hearts. It is better to bully the white-bearded man than to bully the young and poor. When Ling Jingxuan had an accident, no one stood up to speak for them. When the Ling Wang family was murdered by Ling Chenghua, the facts were in front of them, and they pretended to be blind against their conscience, let alone their love for their family in private. The insults have become harsh, now that they are wealthy and Ling Jinghan has been admitted as a scholar, it is no wonder that he will show his face to them.
